• (2) Wyoming Fuel Company proposes to use reference
areas to evaluate the success of revegetation. The big sagebrush
and alkali sagebrush reference areas are shown on Figure 1F of
Appendix F and Figure 2 of this application. However, WFC will
only use the big sagebrush community for revegetation success
because the alkali sagebrush community was not disturbed.

is provided on the vegetation map to evaluate important habitat
for wildlife. See Figure 1F of Appendix F.

regarding species composition cover, productivity and woody plant
density is presented in Appendix F. A discussion of vegetation
condition and trend is provided in Appendix H, page 29, EA No.
